The Legendary Psychic Kashpirovsky Continues to Heal at 86 0 74

In the midst of turbulent times, in the late 1980s, the authorities brought Allan Chumak and Anatoly Kashpirovsky to television. While the former simply "charged" water placed in front of the screen by fools, the latter organized mass television shows.

• "It was pure trickery," said the then-chairman of the State Television and Radio of the USSR, Mikhail Nenashhev, who, apparently, was forced to engage in charlatanism by the destroyers of the Soviet Union.

In 1995, Kashpirovsky moved to the USA, where he began to deceive Russian-speaking immigrants. But he soon returned. He now lives in Moscow in an official apartment that was allocated to him as a State Duma deputy back in 1993. He claims to be a selfless person and earns a living through his YouTube channel.

Kashpirovsky shares his home with his third wife, Gulizar Chalbashova. She is an educated woman, speaking as many as eight languages. But most importantly, she is capable, like her husband, of performing miracles: on August 6, 2025, she gave birth to a daughter, Ellina, at the age of 66!

• "Gulizar is a gift from heaven, arriving too late," the husband laments.

And he hopes that Ellina's life will turn out to be happier than that of his first daughter, who took her own life in the USA at the age of 49.

Anatoly Kashpirovsky was born on August 11, 1939, in the village of Stavnytsia in the Mezhybozh district of the Kamianets-Podilskyi region of the Ukrainian SSR (now Letichiv district of Khmelnytskyi region, Ukraine) to a military family. His father, Mikhail Kashpirovsky, was a participant in the Great Patriotic War. His mother was Yadviga Mykolaivna. He has two sisters and a brother. During the war, the family was evacuated to the Kazakh SSR, in a settlement on the Chu River. According to former classmates, he spent a lot of time in the gym during his school years and respected strength. He had no close friends and kept to himself. By the senior classes, he had developed a unique timbre of voice that made a strong impression on those around him. In his youth, he engaged in weightlifting and became a Master of Sports of the USSR. He read a lot and was interested in psychology. He himself said: "I love Tolstoy, Stefan Zweig, Bunin, Kuprin, Jack London, Flaubert, Sholokhov... Any psychiatrist, psychotherapist, psychologist, lecturer must reread, first of all, Stefan Zweig." He diligently prepared to enter a medical university, for which there was a high competition during Soviet times.

In 1962, he graduated from Vinnytsia Medical Institute, obtaining a specialty in psychiatry. He then worked for 25 years at the psychiatric hospital named after Academician A.I. Yushchenko in Vinnytsia. In 1962-1963, he was a doctor of physical therapy at the Railway Hospital in Vinnytsia. In 1987, he was a psychotherapist for the USSR national weightlifting team. In 1988-1989, he was the head of the Republican Center for Psychotherapy in Kyiv. From 1989 to 1993, he was the head of the International Center for Psychotherapy in Kyiv. He first gained attention in 1988 after two major telebridges between Kyiv and Moscow. The main goal of this experiment was to confirm the possibility of psychologically influencing a patient even in the absence of verbal contact. Eyewitnesses claimed that during the broadcast of the telebridge Moscow-Kyiv on March 31, 1988, pain relief was performed at a distance during a serious surgical intervention. The patient was Lyubov Grabovskaya, who was to undergo surgery on her breast. The experiment was conducted with the help of oncologist Academician N.M. Bondar and doctor I. Korolev, who was already widely known in medical circles at that time. After this, programs featuring Kashpirovsky began to appear on Ukrainian television. In particular, he treated children for enuresis. On March 2, 1989, a telebridge between Kyiv and Tbilisi took place. It caused even greater resonance among the public. During this telebridge, Anatoly simultaneously provided pain relief for two surgeries using his method. The experiment was conducted under the supervision of Academician G.D. Ioseliani and surgeons Z. Megrelishvili and G. Bochaidze. On July 27, 1989, the first meeting with A.M. Kashpirovsky took place at the Ostankino concert studio. Subsequently, in 1989, six broadcasts of "Health Sessions with Psychotherapist Anatoly Kashpirovsky" were aired on Central Television, during which he allegedly performed unprecedented healing of various diseases - about 10 million people in just 6 hours of television broadcast. The first television program aired on October 8, 1989, on the First Channel. It then aired every Sunday, once every two weeks.

Throughout 1990, Kashpirovsky's broadcasts were regularly aired in Vietnam. In that same year, he was awarded the prestigious Wiktory prize by Polish television as the only foreigner for the greatest popularity of the series "Television Clinic of A. Kashpirovsky." In 1991, he spoke at the UN headquarters, where he proposed to apply his methods to combat the effects of radioactive exposure, scars, and AIDS. In 1993, his monograph "Non-Specific Group Psychotherapy" was published, along with a scientific collection based on the materials of the aforementioned conference "The Psychotherapeutic Phenomenon," and his authored books "Awakening," "Thoughts on the Way to You," "Believe in Yourself."
